Been put in RR tie corners and bracing, clearing trees brush and all that FUN stuff to get this pature set up. Next chore will be to run the wire. Going with 4 strands of barbwire, and 2 runs of electric. One just above the bottem barbwire and on up near the 3 and 4th wires. My current electric fence around the cow yard is quit weak( one wire and a red snapper 5 mile fencer. It never seems to have any juice but the cows dont bother the fence, little calves crawl half through and eat grass. So I want a good, make em all learn zapper around the perimitor of the new pasture, especially since I will more than certain have to get a bull and I dont want the coyotes bothering the cattle. SOOOO any good advice on how to make a darn good electric fence, lightning gaurds, enough juice, best way to ground etc, etc?
